Chapter 1432 Plan ahead
Two consecutive championships!
After the Celtics won this year's finals championship, various media not only competed to report, but also gradually promoted them to the clouds.

What is one of the strongest teams in the new century.

What Celtics created a dynasty again!

As long as the vocabulary can be pressed on the Celtics' heads, almost all of them will appear on them.

But they also deserve to be touted.

If it were a different team, it would probably be more grand than their treatment.

And on the night of winning the championship, under the call of the boss, the Celtics didn't care whether they were tired or not. If you say go and have fun, then we won't go back drunk!

this night.

Qin Tao felt drunk for the first time.

The noisy celebration made him seem to be living in a dream, and everything in front of him seemed unreal.

Simply, he still has his own bottom line, and he didn't completely relax himself after winning the championship.

As for the other teammates, with all due respect, almost all of them have become like mud.

Simultaneously.

The relatives and friends who came with them were completely integrated into the happiness of winning the championship.

The owner of the Celtics is also interesting. Not only did he find a club that pays attention to privacy, but also the fans who can participate in this celebration are also very good.

natural.

Such a loud and intimate party can also be seen as a celebration of a private nature.

It took two days for those parties to call one in place.

Until around three o'clock in the morning, Qin Tao slipped away with Zarya Ledlow and her two daughters.

Such a good night can't be wasted partying.

Simultaneously.

After Qin Tao and the others left, the team owner and Danny Ainge got together to discuss the next operation of the team with a little alcohol.

honestly.

Now the configuration of this Celtics team is in place, and I want to add people other than Qin Tao and Durant.

First of all, they thought about the depth of the lineup.

The rookies who lost the ball have played well this season.

Especially Jokic, this is completely beyond their expectation.

Originally thought that Qin Tao wanted to pull this international player because he belonged to the same agent, but who would have thought that his performance would become more and more outstanding as the season progressed!
It is no exaggeration to say that Jokic's performance this season is fully worthy of their top eight picks in the draft that year!

Speaking of the draft.

The task for the Celtics this year is not small.

It seems that he holds the third overall pick in his hand, but the choice is actually quite difficult.

First of all.

Ben Simmons, the No. [-] pick, is so popular that he basically has no chance.

With his own talent and spirit, just like coming to visit the team's training before, he is here, but he will definitely not join the Celtics.

why?
The reason is very simple.

As a No. [-] pick, but can't enjoy the treatment of the No. [-] pick, and has to watch the game and act in the face of his elder brother and second brother, that is unacceptable.

Not to mention that he is still young, when he reaches his position, there will be a large group of people to pave the way for him.

to be honest.

Ben Simmons is like a huge gold mountain, as long as he is mined in place, anyone can benefit.

Say so.

Did everyone think of Qin Tao and Durant?

Players of their type, except for their different talents and abilities, are actually quite similar.

First of all, they play on the court by themselves, and they can hardly talk about things off the court!

Behind you, there is a large group of people pointing at you to eat.

This is like a web of interests with intricate relationships, which affects the whole body.

So Ben Simmons is totally out of the question!

Then there's Brandon Ingram.

For this young man, the Celtics are not very interested.

First of all, they got Durant, and Durant's agent had already spat out that they would start negotiations with them as soon as possible after the Champions Tour.

Negotiate what?
Naturally, it's about Durant's contract extension.

According to the provisions of the latest labor agreement, as long as the Celtics do not lower the price, Durant can definitely get a starting salary of more than 3000 million!

However, because he won the championship with the team, Durant will definitely consider a certain limit of salary cuts.

After all, the team not only needs to renew his contract, but it is actually time for Qin Tao to renew his contract.

do not forget.

Qin Tao signed the contract because of the Arenas clause. After the end of this season, he is about to start his last year.

At that time, he is fully worthy of a salary of at least 3000 million yuan!

Coupled with the need for reinforcements and contract renewals for other players, the team's salary pressure is really not small.

of course.

With Qin Tao's personality, as long as his salary is not excessive, he can still reduce it.

However, if he wants to make him look like he is in the same place, and use most of his salary to help the team sign up, Qin Tao can't do it!

Don't talk about loyalty or disloyalty, the relationship between players and the team, unless it is like Nowitzki and the Mavericks, is completely a business cooperation relationship.

Furthermore.

The relationship between Qin Tao and the Celtics has not reached the point of sacrificing himself and becoming a global team.

so.

Durant may cut his salary, and Qin Tao may also cut his salary, but their salary cuts must not be large, otherwise they will be irresponsible to themselves and the people behind them!

And the team has Durant, Ingram has almost been excluded from the team.

The finalists are Jaylen Brown, Dragan Bender, Kris Dunn, Buddy Hield, and even the son of the old Blazers star Sabonis, Domantas Sabonis, almost all of them can be considered by them.

First of all.

The Celtics actually don't have a particularly obvious shortcoming now, otherwise they wouldn't be able to win the championship for two years.

But people go to high places and water flows to high places. No one doesn't want the team to get talented players.

and so.

The most realistic candidate at this stage must be a shooting guard!
why?
Just because Avery Bradley is so one-dimensional!
His defense is very good, but when he needs to make some contributions on the offensive end, it is a bit difficult for him.

Another is the depth of the entire second team.

It is undeniable.

The Celtics' starting lineup is already very good, but when it comes to the bench lineup, they are still a little behind other teams.

For example, the outside line.

Terry Rocher has the ability, but his style is really a bit biased towards the star style of play.

It's not a solution for the shooting guard to let Jack Crowder play such a cameo. After all, his defense is strong, but he didn't expect to be able to defend the speed outside line at will.

The small forward is still Jack Crowder. The marginal players of the team can only bring you the contribution that their abilities allow, and if they are more, they really can't do it.

As for the inside line.

Amir Johnson still has a one-year contract. Frankly speaking, the Celtics can't afford a tens of millions of substitutes. If his salary is cut after the end of his famous year, this is still a good choice.

David West at power forward, given that Qin Tao is in the starting lineup, he is already very good.

Besides, after winning the championship this year, there will be a lot of veterans to choose from in the free market!

After all, in basketball in this era, the price tag of traditional insiders is really not very high, and after Qin Tao is off the court, the Celtics also pay more attention to inside defense!

in this way.

Originally a good championship party, under the communication between the management and the bosses, some things to prepare for a rainy day were gradually added.

But if you want to stabilize your status as a champion, you have to keep strengthening, and this time it can continue!
